15. Türchen: Manfrotto
Gibt man seine Kamera aus der Hand, achtet man immer darauf, dass sie auch mit Kameragurt um den Hals benutzt wird. Sicher ist sicher. Warum dann beim Stativ sparen? Gerade in unebenen Gelände möchte man doch, dass die Kamera sicher steht und man sich ohne Angst auf die Bilder konzentrieren kann. Die Adresse für gute Stative ist dabei Manfrotto.
Bereits im Herbst gab es bei Manfrotto die Neuauflage der beliebten 190er Stativ-Serie. Die Produktreihe besticht durch ihre schnelle und flexible Nutzung. So lässt sich die Mittelsäule mit einem einfachen Handgriff in die horizontalen Position schwenken.
Die Stativschulter hat einen Easy-Link-Anschluss für die Befestigung von Zubehör wie LED-Leuchten, Blitzgerät, Reflektor oder sonstiger Ausrüstung auf einem ausziehbaren Arm oder einer Halterung. Die Stative gibt es in Carbon oder Aluminium mit je drei oder vier Beinsegmenten.
In unser Kalendertürchen hat Manfrotto die Aluminium-Variante mit drei Segmenten und einem Wert von 219,90 € gelegt. Mit seinem Gewicht von 2 kg hält es eine Belastung von bis zu 7 kg aus und wird damit sicher zu einem großartigen Begleiter für unseren glücklichen Gewinner.
Um das Stativ zu gewinnen, schreibe einen Kommentar unter bürgerlichem Namen und gültiger E-Mail-Adresse bis heute um 24 Uhr. Danach verlosen wir es per Zufallsgenerator unter allen Kommentatoren. Die genauen Gewinnspielregeln findest Du hier. Viel Glück!

Manfrotto made several updates to the new model, but do they place it far enough beyond the old 190, which cost $ 259.95, to justify price hike? Find out in our review
